Piper PT-1

The Piper PT-1 was a 1940s American two-seat primary training monoplane that Piper designed and built at Lock Haven. A low-wing tandem two-seater, it was the first Piper aircraft with a low wing. It had a fabric covering over an all-metal fuselage frame and wooden spar wings and tail, a retractable tailwheel landing gear, and a 130 horsepower Franklin 6AC engine. It had an empty weight of 1,325 pounds, a maximum speed of about 150 miles per hour and a range of 700 miles. No further aircraft were built, and a four-seat development, the Piper PWA-6 that became the PA-6 Sky Sedan, did not go into production either.
